Live
Mondo Underbelly, London, 17/2/2010
Anthony Strutt watches former Creation band the Telescopes play a violent and darkly impressive set of songs from their 1989 debut album, 'Taste'
Marquee, London. 7/10/2005
The Telescopes were often bracketed as a shoegazing act in the early 90s. Back after a long absence and having completely changed direction, Dominic Simpson sees them play a stunning set that utilises drone frequencies and oceanic washes of guitar noise.
Reviews
Songs of Love and Revolution (2021)
Haunting and also surprisingly accessible twelfth album from London-based veteran noise/experimental rockers the Telescopes
Exploding Head Syndrome (2019)
Discordant but often riveting and surprising eleventh album from experimental noise rock act the Telecopes
Hidden Fields (2015)
Eighth offering from Stephen Lawrie's the Telescopes, whom deliver a fine soundscape of noise and confusion
#4 (2005)
Excellent and atmospheric largely instrumental rock from former Creation label signings the Telescopes back with a fourth album on their own Antenna Records label
Altered Perception (2004)
Patchy retrospective for What Goes On and Creation Records signings, the Telescopes, which compiles together material from their first two early 90's albums
